George Clooney larks around on set with Jean Dujardin in behind the scenes footage from Nespresso ad

George Clooney appeared to have a ball filming his new ad for Nespresso alongside Jean Dujardin and Camille Cottin.

In footage shared exclusively with MailOnline this week, the Ocean’s Eleven star, 61, can be seen larking around on set, playing the piano and practicing his French with Jean, 50.

George, who has reportedly earned £31million as the brand’s ambassador, has reunited with Jean for the advert – eight years after their first on-screen encounter.

The pair can be seen sharing a laugh in between takes, while George plays the piano and practices his French skills.

George can also be seen sitting in a suspended chair and holding out his arms and legs in between takes. 

‘We have a history together with these commercials and we said, wouldn’t it be great if we could get Jean back,’ George said in one behind the scenes clip about reuniting with his former co-star.

George also spoke about his costume in the advert, which included a shabby robe and striped pyjamas, joking that he ‘just rolled out of bed’ before filming. 

‘I wasn’t even in costume, I just rolled out of bed and came to work. I love it, I will do every film I work on now in the same costume,’ he said with a laugh.

George added that he loves Nespresso’s dedication to recycling with their pods.

‘Nespresso is a leader in sustainability and recycling… I’m really proud of the recycling we’ve done and how hard we’ve worked. They’ve really made an effort to say recycling is on you,’ he said. 

In the ad, George and Jean fight over the last Nespresso coffee pod and end up breaking into Camille Cottin’s apartment and stealing her freshly-made coffee.

George and Jean first appeared on-screen together in 2014’s The Monuments Men, a film about the scale of Hitler’s looting.

Debuting from 15 November in more than 20 European countries, the new campaign is an evolution of the original 2014 ad.
